[X4U] Apple QC slipping?

[Christopher Collins]

Haven't you gotten over this rant yet Ed? "Backwards Compatibility" is  
not "EVERYTHING". If you want to stay mired in the last century, then  
stay there. But do not expect or ask Apple to keep me and everyone  
else there also.

Backwards Compatibility is an anchor that does nothing other than slow  
innovation. Apple would not be where it is today without the change to  
OS X and Intel processors. Whether you agree with that statement or  
not is irrelevant. The sheer increase in the number of new Apple  
customers is because of OS X and Intel processors.

Customers mired in the last century make Apple no money, and therefore  
don't help the bottom line.

My 2c worth!
